[Intro]
 
C
 
    C                     F           G     C
You better you better you bet     Ooh-ooh-  ooh
    C                     F           G     C
You better you better you bet     Ooh-ooh-  ooh
    C                     F           G     C
You better you better you bet     Ooh-ooh-  ooh

You better you better you bet     Ooh-ooh-  ooh
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C                                F                    G
  I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes
C                                                F                          G
  I sometimes feel I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets
C                                  F             G
  I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes
C                                               F                         G
  I got your body right now on my mind but I've drunk myself blind to the sound of old
  Am                Gm        F        Bb             F
T.Rex               Hmmmm                      To the sound
         Abmaj7               C                       Gsus4       G
of old T.Rex                  Oh,           and Who's next
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                                    F               Am         G          C
  When I say I love you, you say you better,    (You better you better you bet)
C                                    F               Am         G          Dm
  When I say I need you, you say you better     (You better you better you bet)
           Dm  Am    G
You better bet your life
             Dm                    Am  G
Or love will cut you, Cut you like a   knife
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                            F              G
  I want those feeble minded axes overthrown
C                                    F                   G
  I'm not into your passport picture,   I just like your nose
C                          F                 G
  You welcome me with open arms and open legs
C                                  F                   G
  I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
Am                                       Bb   Am                 Bb
   I don't really mind how much you love me,    Oh, a little is alright
         Am                          Ab
When you say come over and spend the night
  C         Gsus4       G
Tonight   Tonight
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                                    F               Am         G          C
  When I say I love you, you say you better,    (You better you better you bet)
C                                    F               Am         G          Dm
  When I say I need you, you say you better     (You better you better you bet)
           Dm  Am    G
You better bet your life
             Dm                    Am  G
Or love will cut you, Cut you like a   knife
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Ab           Eb
I lay on the bed with you
Bb                 C
We could make some book of records
Ab             Eb
Your dog keeps licking my nose
    Bb                   Dm             Am  G
And chewing up all those letters saying you better
Dm            Dm  Am   G
   You better bet your life
 
 
[Middle Section]
 
Am         G     Am         Am        G    Am
You better love  me         all the   time now
C          G     C          C         G    C
you better shove me         Back into line now
Am         G     Am         Am        G    Am
You better love  me         all the   time now
C          G     C          C         G    C
you better shove me         Back into line now
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Am         G     Am         Am        G    Am
C          G     C          C         G    C
Am         G     Am         Am        G    Am
C          G     C          C
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                                   F                G
  I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
C                                              F                 G
  But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier
C                                              F                  G
  I know I've been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy sometimes
C                                 F                  G         Am
  But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime
            Bb       Am        Bb
And when it comes to all night living
                Am
I know what I'm giving
Ab                           C
I've got it all down to a tee
         Gsus4     G
And it's free
 
C                                    F               Am         G          C
  When I say I love you, you say you better,    (You better you better you bet)
C                                    F               Am         G          C
  When I say I need you, you say you better     (You better you better you bet)
C                                    F               Am         G          C
  When I say I love you, you say you better,    (You better you better you bet)
C                                         F               Am         G          D
  When I say I need you, you scream you'd better     (You better you better you bet)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                                    G               Bm         A          D
  When I say I love you, you say you better,    (You better you better you bet)
D                                    G               Bm         A          D
  When I say I need you, you say you better     (You better you better you bet)
D                                    G               Bm         A          D
  When I say I love you, you say you better,    (You better you better you bet)
D                                       G               Bm         A          G
  When I say I need you, you scream you better     (You better you better you bet)
 
 
               A                   G             A           G
 
               A                   G             A           G
               You better bet your life
               A                   G             A           G
  Or love will cut you                           Just like a knife

Great effort, I think this is really accurate. My only point would be the fingering for Dm as I think this should be x557765
